ABOUT EDGAR
Edgar Canet is represented as Fire: young, ambitious and driven by the hunger to win. Representing energy and explosive potential within Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s three elements, the Spaniard brings a fearless spark to the desert. Aboard the KTM 450 RALLY, his challenge is to turn that energy into controlled performance, combining speed with the patience, strategy and precision that rally-raid demands.
Born in La Garriga, Barcelona, Edgar built his foundations in motocross, winning the Spanish MX85 Championship in 2019 before taking his ambition into rally racing. His first World Rally-Raid Championship appearances in 2024 showed his potential, with Rally2 podium finishes in Portugal, Argentina and Morocco setting the stage for a breakthrough season.
In 2025, Edgar won the Rally2 category at his debut Dakar Rally and carried that momentum through the season. Four victories from five events secured the Rally2 World Cup title, confirming his readiness to take the next step into RallyGP.
In 2026, Edgar made history at the Rallye du Maroc, becoming the youngest-ever winner in the RallyGP class at the event. His maiden premier-class victory came through a calculated, consistent ride, finishing every stage inside the top four. It was proof that his raw speed could be matched by intelligent navigation and race management, a landmark step in his progression from Rally2 champion to RallyGP contender.
Looking towards 2027, Edgar’s focus is on building on that breakthrough: refining his navigation, strengthening his consistency and turning more experience into opportunities to fight for victory.
